>> Pete: THIS TIME ATTACKING NEW
2024 PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE,
NIKKI HALEY.
TAKE A WATCH.
>> YOU’RE NOT A NEW GENERATION.
YOU’RE 51.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
>> COMPARED TO D.C. THOUGH,
THAT’S A NEW GENERATION.
CONGRESS IS --
>> IT’S NOT A NEW GENERATION.
SHE MAY BE YOUNGER THAN MOST OF
THOSE PEOPLE BUT HER RHETORIC IS
THE SAME.
SHE SAYS THE SAME B.S.
>> I SEE HER AND I FEEL SAD
BECAUSE SHE USES HER BROWN SKIN
AS A WEAPON AGAINST POOR BLACK
FOLKS AND POOR BROWN FOLKS AND
USES HER BROWN SKIN TO LAUNDER
TALKING POINTS.
>> NIKKI HALEY IS NOT IN HER
PRIME.
WHEN A WOMAN IS CONSIDERED TO BE
IN HER PRIME AT 20s, 30s AND
40s.
>> Pete: SHE USES HER BROWN SKIN
AS A WEAPON AND MOCKING HER AGE.
DON LEMON FACED WIDESPREAD
BACKLASH.
HE WAS SEEN FROLICKING ON THE
BEACH IN MIAMI.
HE PROBABLY PLANTED THAT
PHOTOGRAPHER.
LOOK AT THAT PHOTO ON THE LEFT.
GET HIGHER.
MAKE ME LOOK GOOD ON THE BEACH
AS I JOG.
ACCORDING TO ONE NETWORK INSIDER
AT CNN, DON LEMON’S RETURN TO
THE SHOW DEPENDS ON WHERE HIS
HEAD IS AT, WHICH IS WHAT WE ALL
ASK WHEN WE WATCH HIM.
HE WAS NOT ON THE SHOW THIS
MORNING.
JOINING US NOW WITH HER
REACTION, 2024 PRESIDENTIAL
CANDIDATE, FORMER GOVERNOR AND
U.N. AMBASSADOR.
NIKKI HALEY, THANKS FOR BEING
HERE.
YOUR RESPONSE IN THE WAY THE
MEDIA HAS COME AFTER YOU.
>> I’M NOT SURPRISED, PETE.
I’VE DEALT WITH THIS ALL MY
LIFE.
THEY CAN’T STAND A CONSERVATIVE
MINORITY FEMALE NOT BEING A
DEMOCRAT.
AND SO THEY WILL CONTINUE TO
THROW EVERYTHING.
WHEN I FIRST WON THE
GOVERNORSHIP IN SOUTH CAROLINA,
IT WAS LIBERAL MINORITY
DEMOCRATS THAT SAID SHE’S NOT A
MINORITY.
SHE’S JUST A CONSERVATIVE WITH A
DAN.
THIS IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO
HAPPEN.
IT INFURIATES THEM BECAUSE THEY
KNOW WE WIN INDEPENDENTS.
THEY KNOW WE WIN SUBURBAN WOMEN
AND WE KNOW WE WIN MINORITIES.
OUR SOLUTIONS LIFT UP EVERYONE,
NOT JUST A SELECT FEW.
MORE IMPORTANTLY, LOOK AT HOW
HYPOCRITICAL THIS IS.
IF A REPUBLICAN SAID THIS ABOUT
KAMALA HARRIS OR SAID THIS ABOUT
ANY DEMOCRAT, THEY WOULD BE
ASKING FOR PEOPLE TO BE FIRED.
YOU’RE NOT HEARING THAT.
I MEAN, FIRST DAY IT WAS WHOOPI
GOLDBERG.
THE SECOND DAY IT’S DON LEMON.
TODAY "THE VIEW" PICKS IT UP
BACK AGAIN AND TRYING TO GLORIFY
DIANNE FEINSTEIN AND MAXINE
WATERS WHEN I SAY WE SHOULD HAVE
MENTAL COMPETENCY TESTS.
WE STRUCK A NERVE BUT I’LL WEAR
IT AS A IMAGINE OF HONOR.
>> Pete: DID YOU ANTICIPATE THIS
GENERATIONAL THING?
51 IS YOUNG IN WASHINGTON D.C.
I’LL BE 51 BEFORE I BLINK.
YOU’RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A
POLITICAL CAREER, SO MUCH AHEAD
AND YOU HAVE A DEMOCRAT PARTY
THAT HAS BEEN LAUDING NANCY
PELOSI FOR DECADES THAT IS A TAD
BIT OLDER YOUR SENIOR THAN YOU.
DID YOU THINK AGE WOULD BE THE
ISSUE?
WE KNEW RACE.
BUT AGE?
>> IT’S ALL THEY HAD.
THEY WERE JUST LOOKING FOR
SOMETHING.
I’M 30 YEARS YOUNGER THAN JOE
BIDEN.
THEY SERIOUSLY LOOKED -- IF YOU
LOOK AT POLLS, DEMOCRATS DON’T
EVEN WANT HIM.
YOU CAN’T SAY I’M OLD WHEN YOU
HAVE A PRESIDENT 31, 32 YEARS
OLDER THAN ME.
THAT’S RIDICULOUS.
AT THE END OF THE DAY, WE’RE
GOING TO TALK ABOUT THINGS THAT
MATTER.
I’M AT ROYAL FLOORING IN IOWA.
THEY WANT ACCOUNTABILITY IN
WASHINGTON D.C.
THEY WANT TERM LIMITS, MENTAL
COMPETENCY FOR ELECTED
GOVERNMENTS.
THEY WANT GOVERNMENT TO REMEMBER
THAT THEY WORK FOR THE PEOPLE,
NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
THE LIBS CAN GET UPSET.
I SAW BERNIE SANDERS LOST HIS
MIND OVER IT.
WHEN THEY GET DEFENSIVE, WHO DO
THEY THINK THEY ARE THAT PEOPLE
IN AMERICA DON’T DESERVE TO SEE
WHAT THE MENTAL COMPETENCY OF
THESE ELECTED OFFICIALS ARE?
WHY ARE THEY SO UPSET THAT WE’RE
ASKING FOR TERM LIMITS?
WHY ARE WE SO UPSET THAT WE WANT
THEM TO BALANCE THE BUDGET?
WASHINGTON NEEDS TO BE CLEANED
UP MORE THAN WE THOUGHT.
>> Pete: IT SURE DOES.
WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT?
THE IDEAS THAT YOU HOLD OR YOUR
AGE?
BECAUSE THERE’S -- THERE WAS
CRITICISM OF CONSERVATIVE
CIRCUMSTANCES, YOU KNOW THIS,
THAT AN ILLUSION TO A
GENERATIONAL CHANGE IS AN
ILLUSION TO DONALD TRUMP.
IS THIS ABOUT IDEAS OR IS IT
ABOUT AGE?
WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT TO YOU?
>> LOOK, I THINK IT’S ABOUT
TRANSPARENCY.
LIKE AMERICANS NEED TO KNOW THAT
THEIR ELECTED OFFICIALS ARE
CAPABLE OF MAKING THE REALLY
TOUGH DECISIONS.
THESE ARE DECISIONS ON THE
NATIONAL DEBT, EDUCATION.
AMERICANS DESERVE TO KNOW THESE
THINGS.
WE NEED TRANSPARENCY.
THIS IS NOT SAYING THAT YOU
CAN’T DO YOUR JOB.
THIS IS SAYING THAT YOU NEED TO
BE TRANSPARENT ENOUGH THAT YOU
TELL THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WHETHER
YOU’RE AT THE TOP OF YOUR GAME.
I DON’T SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH
THAT.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT ONE PERSON.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT PRESIDENTIAL
CANDIDATES.
I WANT THIS FOR ALL MEMBERS OF
CONGRESS.
LOOK AT D.C. RIGHT NOW.
LOOK AT HOW OLD IT IS.
ARE YOU COMFORTABLE THAT THEY
CAN DEAL WITH A CHINESE SPY
BALLOON?
ARE YOU COMFORTABLE IF IRAN IS
TRYING TO GET THE BOMB?
NO, WE NEED TO KNOW THAT WE HAVE
PEOPLE IN WASHINGTON CAPABLE OF
MAKING THESE DECISIONS AND MORE
IMPORTANTLY THAT THEY REMEMBER
WHO IT IS THAT THEY WORK FOR.
THEY HAVE LOST THAT.
EVERYBODY THAT IS GETTING
DEFENSIVE ABOUT THIS SAYS MORE
ABOUT THEM THAN IT DOES ABOUT
THE FACT THAT WE’RE TRYING TO
CHANGE THIS.
>> Pete: AND THAT THEY REMEMBER,
YOU KNOW WHAT DAY OF THE WEEK IT
IS.
IT’S A VERY IMPORTANT THING IF
YOU’RE IN A LEADERSHIP ROLE.
REAL QUICK, BIG STORY.
LEAD STORY.
JOE BIDEN IN UKRAINE.
HASN’T BEEN TO EAST PALESTINE.
HOW WOULD YOU A PREACH THIS
ISSUE IS AT THIS MOMENT?
>> IT’S VERY TELLING THAT HERE
YOU HAVE ONE OF THE WORST CRISES
THAT WE HAVE ON OUR BORDER AND
JOE BIDEN WON’T COME.
NOW YOU HAVE THESE POOR
AMERICANS IN OHIO, THE FIRST
THING I DID THIS AS GOVERNOR, WE
HAD HURRICANES, FLOODS, A CHURCH
SHOOTING, A SCHOOL SHOOTING.
THE FIRST THING YOU DO IS GO BE
WITH YOUR PEOPLE.
YOU TAKE YOUR AGENCIES WITH YOU.
JOE BIDEN SHOULD HAVE SHOWN UP,
KAMALA HARRIS SHOULD HAVE SHOWN
UP.
ALL OF THEIR AGENCY HEADS SHOULD
HAVE SHOWN UP.
WE HAD A TRAIN DERAILMENT IN
SOUTH CAROLINA.
THOSE CHEMICALS GO IN TO THE
UNDERSTOOD GROW, GO INTO THE
WATER, THEY’RE IN THE AIR.
YOU HAVE TO TELL THE PEOPLE WHAT
YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU BELIEVE WILL
HAPPEN AND HOW YOU CAN EARN
THEIR TRUST AND BEING BACK
THERE.
THIS IS ABOUT PARENTS RAISING
THEIR KIDS THERE.
THIS IS ABOUT PEOPLE BEING
COMFORTABLE BREATHING THE AIR.
IT’S UNACCEPTABLE THAT A
PRESIDENT WOULD NOT GO FOR
SOMETHING LIKE THIS WHEN IT’S
THAT SERIOUS, THIS IS A CRISES.
HE ALWAYS RUNS FROM A CRISIS.
>> Pete: ONCE AGAIN, IT COMES
